ABSTRACT
With an ever increasing number of computing initiatives trying to engage and motivate children of all ages, we need to ask ourselves what these initiatives achieve and deliver. We therefore intend to investigate whether participation in a workshop setting changes students' approaches to solving selected computational thinking problems and extends their repertoire of problem-solving strategies. Methods used will include video analysis to collect data on the solutions and strategies, and a design-based research approach to create an effective task design for the workshop activities given to the students.

Computer science-education outreach: an interdisciplinary collaboration (abstract only)
SIGCSE '13: Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationA recent focus in CS education has been at the K-12 level, developing CS and computational thinking skills. Oftentimes CS programs find it difficult to get into schools. At St. Scholastica a unique partnership exists between CS and Education. Together ...
K12 outreach: motivating k12 school counselors to embrace the changing face of computing (abstract only)
SIGCSE '13: Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationK12 students have limited access to computer science curricula in United States' public schools. Individuals' perceptions of the field as a masculine, elite, and individualistic profession can restrict which K12 students are encouraged to pursue careers ...
